Description
For Sale in the village of BURZET, in the heart of the Ardèche – Château Galimard.
Nestled in a peaceful and preserved environment, this château bears witness to several centuries of history.
Château Galimard, also known as a “maison-forte” (fortified house), is located just five minutes from the village of Burzet. Its construction likely dates back to the 14th century, originally serving as a residence associated with an agricultural estate. In the 17th century, under the direction of Claude Chalabreysse de Galimard, the building underwent a radical transformation. It was redesigned into a residence of distinction, taking on the appearance of a noble fortified house as it stands today. The layout forms a rectangle around an interior courtyard, which features a spring arranged as a decorative grotto — typical of the aesthetic tastes of that era.
The main elevation is crowned by a staircase tower, with a wooden dome adorned with painted coffers. Several interior features have been preserved despite 19th- and 20th-century renovations: a monumental fireplace, exposed-beam ceilings, traditional stone flooring (calades), and original woodwork.
This château is much more than a property — it is a place steeped in soul and potential, ready to become an exceptional family residence, a prestigious guesthouse, or a refined venue for receptions and seminars.
A rare opportunity for lovers of history, stone architecture, and timeless beauty.
